We evaluated the nutritional and socioeconomical factors of 100 children aged $5{\sim}6$ years. Forty five children (45%) were selected from families with low socioeconomic status, while 55 children (55%) were from those with high socioeconomic status. Some differences of the nutritional factors (eating behavior, food preference, food frequency) were found between low and high socioeconomic groups. This survey suggest that eating behavior, food preference and food frequency may be useful in estimating nutritional factors. And the nutrition education for the children and their meal planners is necessary to improve the nutritional status of the subjects.

This study aimed to look into a comparison of the demographical characteristics concerning behavior toward the consumption of and satisfaction with Korean foods, and intention to repurchase Korean foods by identifying the food-related lifestyles of Korean consumers. As a result of research, food-related lifestyle was divided into five dimensions, namely the pursuit of health, convenience, safety, economic efficiency, and the pursuit of taste factors. Consumers' food-related lifestyles were confirmed to exhibit a significant difference according to demographic characteristics, such as gender, residential area, age, occupation, educational background, and income, and to the characteristics of their consumption behavior of Korean foods. In detail, the food-related lifestyles of consumers in their twenties showed a higher tendency for convenience and the pursuit of taste factors, and consumers in their forties or over were likely to pursue both economic efficiency and taste factors at the same time. Overall, the pursuit of safety was discovered as being the highest tendency. Also, the food-related lifestyle that most significantly affected satisfaction with Korean foods appeared to be health and the pursuit of taste factors, and satisfaction were found to have a significant effect on the intention to revisit.

This study compared the perceptions of children and their mothers of the effects of school lunch programs on the children's dietary behaviors in elementary schools. Questionnaires were answered by 425 elementary school students and their 412 mothers in the Busan area. The results indicated: The school lunch program had positive effects on children's dietary behaviors such as understanding healthy meals, correcting unbalanced diets, snack intake, attitude toward the meal, table manners, and table hygiene. However, there were still some negative habits in the home related to snack time, reading books or watching television during mealtime, eating foods before seniors have started. The gender of the children and whether the mothers worked or not produced no significant differences (in most cases). Still mothers more positively perceived the effect of school lunch programs on their children's dietary behaviors than did the children themselves. Thus, the school lunch program had positive effects for a balanced diet and making good eating habits. And, therefore, teachers-as well as the dieticians- should actively regard the school lunch program as an educational activity which can produce positive effects for a balanced diet, and make every endeavor to strengthen their relationship with the home.

This study examined the factors that affect the relationship between single-person households, food related life style, restaurant selection attributes, and behavioral intention. In order to perform statistical analyses required in the study, SPSS 18.0 Statistical Program was employed for frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlations, and regression analysis. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors regarding food related life style were extracted from all measurements with a KMO of 0.716 and a total cumulative variance of 64.437%, With regard to restaurant selection attributes, one factor was extracted with a total cumulative variance of 75.372% and a KMO score of 0.739. One factor for behavioral intention was extracted that accounted for a total cumulative variance of 61.312% and a KMO score of 0.666. All factors were significant to .000 and the correlation between variables was significant. Thus, based on the results, the main research hypotheses regarding the relationships among food related life style restaurant selection attributes, and behavioral intention were adopted.

농촌지역은 건강과 식생활의 자연친화적으로 볼 수 있으나 실제로 농약사용과 과다한 노동 부하와 함께 농업의 세계화 추세에 따라 농업종사자의 정신적 육체적 어려움이 클 것으로 본다. 이에 따라 농촌에서 거주하지만 농업에 종사하는 사람과 비농업에 종사하는 사람들 간에 식품의 생산과 식행동 및 건강관리 행동에 차이를 알아보고 농업종사자의 나은 건강생활을 위한 자료로 활용하기 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. 농촌을 행정구역별로 인구비례에 따라 층화추출법으로 1870명을 선발하였다.(중략)

Purpose: A comprehensive evaluation item was developed to assess adolescent dietary habits and nutritional practices, considering food intake, eating behaviors, and food culture, such as social support and food environment. Methods: The 59 candidate items of the evaluation checklist were obtained based on the results of the eighth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, Korea Dietary Reference Intakes, dietary guidelines for adolescents, Youth Risk Behavior Survey data, national nutrition policies and dietary guidelines, and literature reviews. Four hundred and three middle and high school students residing in metropolitan areas participated in a survey using the 58-item checklist, which was selected through expert evaluation and content validity ratio analysis. The construct validity of the assessment tool for the quality of adolescent diets was assessed by exploratory factor analyses to determine if the checklist items were organized properly and whether the responses to each item were distributed adequately. Results: The Bartlett sphericity test was significant for each area (p <0.001), and the eigen values were greater than one. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and cumulative proportions by areas were food intake (0.765 and 56.8%, respectively), eating behaviors (0.544 and 64.8%, respectively), and food environment (0.699 and 62.4%, respectively). Twenty-two checklists were determined for the final evaluation items for the adolescents' dietary habits and nutritional practices and were categorized into three distinct factors: food intake (10 items), eating behaviors (4 items), and food environment (8 items). Conclusion: The evaluation items for adolescent dietary habits and nutritional practices is a useful checklist for easily and quickly assessing the dietary qualities and reflecting Korean adolescents and their food environmental factors related to a sustainable diet.

For the purpose of encouraging healthy eating habits, this study surveyed 282 male and female university students in Busan to investigate the relationships between dining-out activities, eating habits, and the frequency of fast food intake and obesity. To confirm this, SPSS statistical programme 14.0 has been used to carry out the frequency analysis, fact and reliability analysis, $x^2$-test, t-test and the correlation analysis. As a result, it has been found that there is a correlation under p<0.01 between obesity and the habit of frequently eating unhealthy food, and there is a correlation under p<0.01 between obesity and the habit of frequently fast foods. Meanwhile, there is a correlation under p<0.05 between obesity and regular eating habits. Therefore, it has been concluded that there is a correlation between the obesity and eating habits as well as the frequency of fast food intake among the university students.
